Chicken Thighs and Hot Italian Sausages

[John Solak]

Another cook on the Santa Maria Pit. Seasoned the thighs with Lawry's, black pepper, granulated garlic, white sugar and paprika. Used red oak and almond wood for fuel.


Chicken thighs on


Hot Italians and thighs done.


Warmed up some pizza sauce, and added a slice of Provolone to a bun and toasted on the grill


Topped the sausage with some Italian style Muffuletta olive spread and a side of blue box mac and cheese.

I used to fill a chimney full of lit charcoal and dump that in the pit and then place my wood on top of that.
